    I see they're continuing to make the same mistakes, namely a half-hearted LTN around Harrison park.

    They've left the West Bryson Rd / Dundee Tce East-West rat-run open, as they have the Harrison Rd one.

    Utterly ridiculous putting segregated lanes down on Harrison Rd, when a filter would do.

    All it means is they'll get loads of complaints about "increased traffic" on the rat-runs they've left open, and the usual calls to "rip it all out", a la East Craigs, Corstorphine, etc.

    Honestly, the council have no clue how to negotiate. Start with the absolute best practice, then work back. Don't start with a weak filtering scheme, and expect it to somehow survive...

    FFS, maddening. We'll never reduce driving and associated harm to our children's future at this incremental rate.

    Never mind, I guess Spokes will be along soon to say "it's better than nothing"

    I started off at the end by our office (the eastern end) and worked back, surprised at how progressive it is. Then you get to all the mystifying stuff around the canal connection and Harrison Park.

    Guys, just leave Harrison Road closed at the bridges and then spend £20k on a nice modal filter on West Bryson Rd and you'll create a massive high value LTN

    Urgh.
